Pastore: I'm not worth €100m

Pastore, 21, has been linked with a move to Barcelona and Manchester City, after his impressive performances in Serie A, but the Argentine international has been quick to distance himself from the massive figure, after Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini revealed his release clause had now been set to €100 million.

"One hundred million Euros? It must be a joke about my future," said Pastore. "I don't think I am a player worth that amount of money. My transfer can't cost €100 million.

"I am very happy where I am at the moment. Nobody needs to ask for so much money for making me stay at Palermo."
